j Application filed an s,

The invention relates to shade brackets particularly adapted for 'use'in connection with shade rollers of the non spring type and which rollers are provided with drums around whicha cord extends, and has for its object to provide. a shade bracket formed 4 I from sheet metal and provided with an out Wardly extending flange at one side thereof having a pintle receiving aperture and the body of the bracket below the roller with a struck out portion forming spaced V-shaped slots through which. the shade co'rdleirtends and freely moves when centrally disposed in relation to the slots and in the ends of which slots the shade cord jams and is held when moved to the right or left, thereby holding theshade in any desired position.

A further object is to provide a. transversely adjustable member adapted to arch the side facing of a window frame for holding the lower end of thebracket against displacement. 1 r V c A further object is to provide opposite edges of the bracket with registering recesses for the reception of hooked members, which hooked members are adaptedto roceive'the. curtainand over drapery rods. Also to provide the hooked members with an angular portion adapted to overlie the upper side of the window frame foradditionally bracing the device. c 1

With the above and other objects in-view the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter set forth, shown 1n the drawing, described and cla1med,"it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention brackets applied thereto.

may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention. y

In the drawing: Figure 1 is a View in elevation ofthe'up per portion of a window frame showing the I Figure 2 is a perspective view of one of the brackets.

Figure 3 is a horizontal sectional view through one of the brackets taken on line 33 of Figure 2.

,Fig'ure lis avertical transverse sectional View through one ofthe brackets.

Figure 5 is a perspective view of one of the lower ends of one of the brackets showin the cord holding means, I

:iteferring to the drawing, the numeral 1' designates a conventional form of shade I slots 9. By

1927. 1 seri l No. aoaesa roller of the non spring type and at one end thereof is provided with a drum 2 around which drum a cord 4 extends. Upon a downward movement of the cord the roller is ro tated in the direction of the arrow a, thereby winding the shade 5 on the roller 1. The

shade is lowered manually in the usual manner by impartinga pull thereon which will rotate the rollerfl innthe direction of the arrow 1). in devices of thischaracter it is necessary to provide means for holding the cord 4 for supporting the shade at-various elevations and at the same time, 011 account is of the cost of manufacture the mechanism for holding the cord, necessarily must be small and to accomplish this result, one of the shade brackets. 6 has its body portion 7 below the roller 1 provided with a struck out justment thereof, it will only be necessary for the operator to grasp the free end of the cord 4 and move thesame to the right or left until it jams in the restricted ends of the V-shaped providing two V-shaped slots 9, it will be seen that there will be a double jamming of the cord 4:, consequently slipping of the cord obviated.

Brackets 7 are provided with outwardly extending integral flanges 10, which are registering slots 14 through which extend headed bolts 15-. The headed bolts have their heads 16 engaging the rear sides of the members 17 whereby when the nuts 18 are tight ened the telescopically engaged members will be held in adjusted positions where their angularly d sposed arms 19,will overlie the sides 7 of the wlndow facings 20, and it will be seen that when the set screws 21 are tightened the window facings QOthereby preventing side; Thearms 19' vided withpintle receiving apertures 11 for the reception of the pintles l2 of the roller,

members 13' willbe securely clamped to the are preferably reinforced by right angularly shaped braces 22'.

Brackets 7 extend upwardly and have their opposite edges provided with recesses 23, thereby forming lugs 24 under Which the hooks 27 carried by the right angular-1y shaped members 28 engage and additionally support the brackets when their arms 29 are in engagement With the upper side of the Window facing. The hooks 27 have reduced upwardly extending portions 80, which recei-ve the ends of conventional forms of drapery rods 31, therefore it Will be seen that the members 28 not only assist in supporting the brackets, but also form means for receiving and supporting the drapery rods From the above it will be seen that a curtain bracket is provided, Which is simple in construction, may be easily and quickly applied to aWindoW frame Without varying the construction thereof, or marring .the frame,

and the device may be and sold. V

The invention having been set fort-h'What is claimed as new and useful is cheaply manufactured A shade roller cord holder carried by center thereof said cord will be gripped and.

held.

In testimony whereof We hereunto affix our signatures.
